As Lydia stepped out of her car, she saw her husband, unlocking the front door. They entered the house together, tired from work, when Lydia’s sister, Rachel came running to them.
“Guys! You’ll never believe what is back there…,” she, blurted. She was babysitting their 4 year old son. Fearing the worst, they sprinted behind Rachel.
They reached the guest room and saw a table laid out for two with a candle in the center.
“Sorry sis, for keeping this secret. I’m taking my nephew home with me for the night. Enjoy!” I turned to see my blushing husband.
